What if or How about or Imagine this, Parasails like the ones you'd see at most beaches where they hook you up to the thing and then the boat takes off and you go cruizing around, would be hooked up to the top of a train. Why sit in the boring ass train on your trip? You could be parasaling in a luxurious,
customized trainchuting travel seat attached to a parachute having a great time.

Power lines might be a problem too. |

But you could call it a "Chute Chute Train". |

I always thought they did it over water since it's much safer to land that way. |

Landing on the train might be difficult if there was much of a crosswind, but certainly better than if you were being towed from a car. |

There is a New York sport called "Subway Surfing". Few participants have managed more than a single ride, however, for one or other of the reasons listed above. So if you're bored, just stick your head out of the window like everyone else. But not too far. |

I haven't riden on trains where you could stick your head out the window...<sigh> |

//Landing on the train might be difficult// No need to land on the train. When you are close to where you want to go just let go and glide to your final destination. Cabs could loose quite some business that way. On the other hand youngsters who collect the parasails and bring them back to the railway station (for a fee) could make some money. |
